405 Games: Watch Dogs' development is PC focused

Ubisoft’s CEO Yves Guillemot talks to InsideGamer about Watch Dogs, and how PC will be the lead platform for development.

Ubisoft’s CEO Yves Guillemot recently stated in an interview with InsideGamer that the console version of Watch Dogs will be pioneered by the PC version of the game.

Guillemot explained: "Previously, we developed games first on the Xbox 360 and then translated onto the PS3. It took a lot of time and money to make that port. Now we develop from the PC and versions are translated into a console like the PlayStation 4,"

This appears to make more sense than the methods for cross platform development from the last 7 years. With potential headaches like constant graphical re-scaling and other hardware niggles between Microsoft, SONY and Nintendo’s machines being made easier with PC priority development, consumers can hopefully now enjoy a game experience that's a bit more balanced than previous port jobs.
